| | What's Up:
Work has often
been consuming for me, filled with responsibilities I take seriously
(too seriously??) and requiring many late hours. So, I particularly
cherish my free time and my vacation time. I do my best to take
advantage of my proximity to LA and Santa Barbara with all their
cultural offerings [the LA Philharmonic, a Santa Barbara based
chamber music group, great theater, interesting dance groups, a wide
assortment of �artsy� movies, great museums (the Getty & others) and
quirky galleries]. On top of all that, the area is full of great
restaurants serving an extensive variety of American and more exotic
fare, and it�s close to some great wine regions. I�ve enjoyed
investigating both, the price of which is the need for a serious and
regular program of exercise to help keep the unwanted pounds at
bay. Finally, like many of you, I have found traveling an
exhilarating and engaging pastime. I�ve visited some wonderful
places in the US and outside the country, as well. I�m eagerly
looking forward to my next big trip: viewing a total solar eclipse
off one of the Greek isles next March.
My Occupation:
Since
graduating from the University of California at Santa Barbara, I�ve
been doing accounting related work, mostly in the financial services
industry. Once I figured out that I was going to have to work for a
living, I decided to go back to school and get my MBA. I got my
graduate degree from UCLA in 1987. For the past seven plus years,
I�ve been working for First Data Corporation directing the financial
planning and analytic activities for a subsidiary engaged in
providing credit card processing services to merchants.
My Family:
No children
and no husband. But vicariously, I enjoy the family life of my
sister, her husband and her 14 year old son. For the last six
years, I have been dating a wonderful man who, unfortunately, won�t
be with me at our Reunion festivities, since he is spending some
time in Arizona with his ailing father.
Favorite Memories:
In a way,
graduation day was a high point; I was SO glad to be finished with
high school and SO ready to get started on whatever came next.
Other special memories: the trip to Spain between my sophomore and
junior year and school dances.
